With the addition of putting real butter and organic maple syrup on it, the combination tasted very good. The staff were also very nice and they even offered an extra side with our meal . I chose to order the side of hash browns which turned out to be delicious. My dad had the German pancakes which were protein packed with eggs and were so he good that he hopes to someday order them again.

The bunny tails are amazing (pancake like bites to dip in a sweet sauce) they are lightly crisp on the outside but fluffy and airy on the inside. I also tried a special called island time soo good.

Ok.. not going to lie. Im very jaded when it comes to raamen. Raamen is supposed to be a cheap…read moreand tasty quick meal but depending what goes in it, can wrack up the price. One thing that immediately stood out to me is they are called Hokkaido raamen, but dont have Hokkaido raamen (Hokkaido raamen tends to be buttery with seafood.. but there are many variations). The pros: very friendly staff that didnt charge me extra for a sprinkle of cilantro. Clean place and well presented food. The cons: noodles are way too soggy. Good raamen needs to be much firmer. The chashu (por) for the price of the dish should have been the size of my fist, but was more the size of a couple thin slices of Canadian bacon. The temperature was also luke warm. Ramen needs to be hot hot hot (forgivable though because I imagine a lawsuit if it b was served as its supposed to be) Overall: way too over priced for what it is. I would say this is a $7 bowl of raamen. Don't get me wrong... it was tasty... but heavily price gouged. Alas.. this is kind of par for course for raamen stateside. I might go here once or twice a year... its like having a fast food burger that costs 20$.. the burger may be great but the price drains the flavor.

A tough place to get reservations for, but after tonight, I understand why. Set in what could be a…read morehouse turn restaurant, the ambiance is pretty neutral. Jazz is playing and the servers and wait staff are super nice. Once our reservations were confirmed, we were sat shortly after. We sat and our waitress Avah, or Ava was great. We order a mojito and an eighteen elven as drinks. The pimento cheese and shrimp for appetizers. 12oz NY Strip with French fries and cream fried corn with a 16oz hand cut ribeye with mashed potatoes and string beans. We added on 3 scallops and were happy that we did. Everything was delicious, well seasoned, steaks both medium rare and the drinks were made well. No complaints, probably the most quiet dinner date, but it was for great reason. Please do yourself a favor and grab a reservation.

Parking is tight so parked across the street at a huge church parked lot. Since it was just before…read more6pm I and I am by myself I didn't do a reservation. Well walked in and see plenty of two tops open and the hostess made me a reservation anyway. Yes and then asked me to please wait for five minutes and then she would seat me. Sure enough after five minutes almost to the dot she took me to one of the many empty tables. Several were two tops. No by the time I left many were full but still trying to force the reservation issue on a rainy, humid yucky Wednesday night is a bit much. The waitress was very nice and very professional as you would expect in a relatively upscale restaurant. She took my drink order and my she crab soup. The ole fashioned was ok. Not great and if you look at the pix it is a bit short. The she crab soup was thinner than most and had an excessive amount of shell in it. Some rather large pieces. Some shell is to be expected but this was a bit much. The bread for dipping was delicious and the soup had plenty of crab in it to go with the shells. Then came time to order main course. I have had salmon, reddish and tuna this week so opted for the scallops. I asked to swap both sides for a side salad and was told no. They don't do that. Hmmm. Usually for a small up charge yes. I have never been just told flat out no till this evening. She advised her manager said no when she went and asked so I had to choose two sides so went with the green beans and the Cajun coleslaw. The scallops were a bit small but ok. The green beans were delicious. Best part of the whole meal. The Cajun slaw was nice and creamy by a bit too spicy so it was left. The place is an old house that has been converted into a nice restaurant. It is nicely decorated and has upscale feel but it is lacking. Had high hopes but trying too hard to be something in an area with lots of restaurant choices. No is what I will say when asked if I will return next trip.

It's also part of the experience when we go dine out and every time I've come with family or on my own I've always seen a friendly face who takes the time to greet, chat and just be a little extra thoughtful. I've taken the time to notice that the general manager works tirelessly to check on patrons, introducing himself and ensure orders are enjoyed. He has also hired some of the most out going and kindest staff, I truly enjoy their smiles and feel welcome when I visit for my next order. It's one thing to go out for a meal but it's experiencing good food with a pleasant environment. I believe that making this an extra stop for a fresh ice tea with their tea pass or a healthier option for lunch is worth it. If I could suggest one improvement , while it is big, I'd love to see this location get a more updated facelift though, the seating, walls, floors and bathrooms are functionally obsolescent. This McAlisters is in a great location and has a lot of business, it would be so nice to see it updated with more of a cafe and deli feel to it.
